Optimus Prime (Kre-O)
| The name or term "Optimus Prime" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Optimus Prime (disambiguation). |
Optimus Prime doesn't take any guff and doesn't cotton to any of the foolishness some of the other Kreons delight in. By keeping some of the biggest troublemakers occupied with missions, he can devote himself fully to his job—protecting brick-based lifeforms from tyranny. One day he hopes to follow his predecessor into retirement, where he plans to waste the days away in vehicle mode, possibly fondly remembering his younger days.
He defends Kreopolis.

Toys
Kre-O
- Optimus Prime w/ Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Bluestreak, and two stunt driver Kreons (2011, 542 pieces)
- The larger Optimus Prime Kre-O kit is based loosely on the Optimus Prime of the live-action films. He transforms into a semi-trailer truck pulling a trailer like the one from Dark of the Moon that can open to reveal a pair of motorcycles. The included Kreons can ride the motorcycles or sit in the cab. Orange traffic cones are included to direct traffic and guarantee that minimal hijinks take place.
- Optimus Prime (2011, 90 pieces)
- The smaller optimus Prime Kre-O kit is loosely based on the original Optimus Prime, transforming into a cabover truck. He comes with no Kreons.
- Matrix Optimus Prime (2011, 10 pieces)
- Intended to be exclusive to BotCon 2011, this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the Matrix of Leadership within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand. We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in loads of other places—it was handed out at San Diego Comic Con 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on Hasbro Toy Shop), and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the UK children's comic, Doctor Who Adventures (but not the UK's Transformers comic, you'll note!). A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see above). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.
